do you guys ever worry about getting Pulled Over and possibly losing your beloved Porsche's??
I absolutely LOVE the stories & the video's, and don't want you to ever stop just be careful guys.


Where is this Protomotive shop anyways?
Is it a big shop? They don't seem to Advertise/Brag about themselves too much.

Just a little susguestion. Anyways, really don't want to see the 996TT lost. Not that because we have one at home, just don't want the Viper guys to take all the fame for 1) because the guy didn't keep his word 2) guy made up excuess and 3) for their hugh amount of ego. Wouldn't it be great to see their ego drop like flies hehe.
All Alex really needs is a RSR LSD in the raer to gain traction. A baised LSD up front would also be a plus. Not that he really "needs" anything.

I wonder too. Is it like a list of top cars they want to beat? For example, the Black List in NFS MW?

They also have Prototech and Protosport in FL and NJ.

Hey I've wondered about Sharkey's car.... is that a street driveable machine? Can you really turn with all that horsepower? I had assumed (albeit possibly incorrectly) that the car was a drag car mainly as I have really only read about his track times and so on.. This car handles?

Great thread, I have read every post and really enjoyed the rivalry. I think Craig makes a valid point to not let this turn into hatred, but love and respect for our passions. Speaking of respect, if there was a gentlemans agreement amongst Alex and Darius not to post videos until it was decided fair and square then SHAME on the offending party. Alex, I would see him in hell before I ever lined up next to him again. I say this from experience in match races TF/FC vs TF/dragster. If they go back on their word then they will do whatever it takes including destroying your machine. Stay the hell away from this man, and don't line up next to him again. My father always said, " I gave you a strong handshake and a good name; Don't betray either one". Good Driving Skill to all.

Kenny
